Orteq patients' story - Pascal Lorenz

When he was just 11 years old Pascal Lorenz tore his meniscus. It was partially removed but he then went on to suffer further cartilage (meniscus) damage. By 16 his knee had suffered so much that he was in constant pain, even at night. All his sporting activity had ceased and even walking up stairs was a painful experience. Following media reports Pascal was put in contact with Dr Heinz Laprell, a specialist orthopaedic surgeon at the Lubinus Clinic, Kiel Dr Laprell informed him that the "Options following the removal of a lateral meniscus are pretty much limited to implanting a new meniscus". Pascal became part of the clinical trials for Actifit. Aged 17 he had returned to active sporting life playing soccer for VFB Lübeck's youth team. He remains pain free, can climb stairs and can sleep at night.
